PIP week ending September 16

If you were pip this week, please let us know your age, division and country.
Guys, remember. If you were put wrongfully on a pip with unreachable goal you can file for a lawsuit. It is very important you say your age, so attorneys see there is a pattern when putting people on pip.

Only 4 weeks? I can't believe any performance issue can be ameliorated in 4 weeks. Sounds like a plan-to-fail-you.

I talked my way out of one recently (mid year review) - but next real review is end of year. So well at least he's not eager for me to go.

That said I can't keep up with being assigned the subsystems those leaving orphaned (you know - in addition to all existing work)

Not a Quiet Quitting opportunity either as he's comparing me to others that are totally sucking up the cr-p ton of extra work being ladled out. I work hard but there are limits.

If you're asking why don't I leave ? Like the younger in our group are? Well, my long-planned early retirement is in 2 years. So I'd like to keep my 5 weeks vacation (always negotiate!), health care switches tough for wifes medical needs, stay on their (now very limited) retirement bennies. Contrast to job switch for just 2 years with all that entails.

Can I work hard (yes, hard, but just) enough to not ki-l myself and not get PIPd for 2 years? Dunno. Sh---y market time (retirement funds down 20% - market) for a few high draw years right at the start.

I can't believe people turn over information to strangers. Could be competitors but definitely outside people. what do you gain from doing this?

don't down vote these posts. Think of this as a way to use an actual cloud service to record some long term trends. The aggregate data will be useful at some point.

Cloud Pak for PIPs And RAs.

We could port that to Z and sell millions.
